Road, I looooved that movie.
The world did end! Problem is, our minds can’t accept that we’re now dead so we’re all continuing as if everything’s normal.
Well that certainly explains a lot… 
Esprix-if they’re the ones I’m thinking about-the ones standing in front of convents, dressed like priests and nuns and making out on purpose, then yeah, I think I have a right to be pissed off. Or whatever. Maybe I’m pulling stuff out of my ass.
If I’m wrong, I appologize. But honestly, one can disagree with the church’s policies without being an ass.
So is the Warriors of Masturbation Rally canceled or not?
I’m not going to waste my time jacking off tomorrow if no one else shows up.
Happy, ready to do his part to help out the president
Yes, but can one AGREE with the RCC’s policies re. homosexuality without being an ass?
Evidence to date suggests that one cannot.
I do NOT agree with the RCC’s policies.
HOWEVER, that does NOT mean insulting the millions of Catholics who have nothing to do with that policy.
Seriously, I can understand. But I don’t approve of that kind of thing. They’re also turning off the very people they’re trying to win over.
Oh, for the love of…
This thread is what gives Atheists a bad name, and the reason why some of them annoy the fuck out of me at times. How can anyone be offended by this? Heaven forbid that some fringe group hold a prayer rally. It does not harm you or infringe on you in any way whatsoever. Traffic will be clogged? So what? Traffic would be clogged if it was a sporting goods convention. When you bitch about shit like this, you come across as having a problem with anybody practicing religion. It’s called the first ammendment, people, and it applies to public as well as private.
Look, you don’t have to pray with them. So drop the self-righteous “we know better” bullshit, the digs at organized religion, and the off-topic criticisms of the Catholic Church. Show the tolerance of other world views that you claim to value so highly and shut the fuck up.
Have you ANY idea how offensive it is to have a self-appointed “agent of (your diety/mythology here)” assume to pray for one’s SOUL?!
It is MY soul, I will care for and nurture it - keep you bloody (Hi Christians!) fucking hands OFF it!
And don’t get me started on the Mormon practice of “enrolling” souls of the dead into “Mormon Heaven”.
Well said Guin and I agree with you.
But to be honest, when I heard about the prayer group/Indulgence incident in San Francisco it reaffirmed my faith in justice: I think they deserve each other.
>Look, you don’t have to pray with them. So drop the self-righteous >“we know better” bullshit, the digs at organized religion, and the >off-topic criticisms of the Catholic Church.
Sounds like somene needs a time-out.
I just see people mostly making jokes about it, and why shouldn’t the church BE critizied? They allow pedofiles to run around and rape kids. I think the boston cardnal should be defrocked and thrown in a pile of shit. HE cares more about the CHURCH then the people, and his actions PROVE it. Isn’t people what religon is suppose to be about? And I also hear the catholic church isn’t going to go for the cardnials agreement. ACTION-> We care more about the church then
people.
>Show the tolerance of other world views that you claim to value so >highly and shut the fuck up.
I don’t care what you do in the privacy of you own home, but if your going to come out and show the world what a clown you are, well expect me to laugh.
I’m not going to stop laughing, or “shut up” when people who want to force thier religion down MY throat aren’t following what THEIR books says. I should NOT point out that they are HYPOCRITES? I’m sorry, I’ll try to be more like the lap-dog “liberal” press in the future.
Happyheathen, yes, I think I do think I understand how offensive that would be. It is the same type of wrong done to Pat Robertson when those godless Muslims dare to question whether Jesus was the son of God. It is the same type of injustice done to the Jews when Christians pray that they will be “born again”. It is the same type of injustice done to Budhists when the monotheistic religions feel the need to state that they are wrong and not “people of the book”. It is the same type of injustice done to the religious as when Atheists claim that there is no God.
In short, it is not an injustice at all and you should not find it offensive that people believe differently from you.
You, happyheathen, are showing the same type of intollerance that I despise from some of my religious brethren, and the reason some anti-religion atheists piss me off so much. I do not believe the same things as the Handmaidens and Servants, but at least I can accept when they pray for me. They are wishing me well.
However, this is the pit. So instead of trying to reason with you, I think I will just toy with you and piss you off the best way I know how:
I will pray for you.
First off, assmunch, the group in the OP are NOT FUCKING CATHOLIC, okay shithead?
Eat fucking hell, idiot.
I was quoting someone else, and you argue like a true-blue republican.
I was quoting someone else, the quote is above my reponse, I know they “are NOT FUCKING CATHOLIC”, they are fundies, which is worse, and you argue like a true-blue republican. Rush would be proud.
That’s my point. though. These people aren’t forcing jack shit. It is their 27[sup]th[/sup] annual conference, and Shirley Ujest is bothered that they are praying that we have a peaceful July fourth. To be “rubbed the wrong way” or offended by a group practicing its first ammendments rights, especially in such a peaceful manner, is sure as hell going to get some strong words form me.
The jokes are fine. I’ll make South Park-esque jokes about the Catholic Church and pedophilia. But what pisses me off is the hypocrisy I see by some of the posters here, and by the OP itself. Apparently, they find the mere fact that some people believe different things from themselves offensive. They will bitch about religous fundamentalists, yet they gloss over their own intolerance.
Oh. My. God.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Did you guys hear that? I’m a “true-blue republican”???
ME!!! Guinastasia!!! Miss Pinko-Commie-America-Basher!!!
HAAHAHAHAHAH!!!
Oh, man, that is FUNNY!!!
I LOVE IT!
Excuse dumbass, did you read the part where I commended prayer in private? People who claim they can stop terror attacks by prayer, chanting, lighting candles, or dropping trou are liars, and, by their own Scripture, are also hypocrites. Jesus condemned ostentatious public prayer.
They are free to pray; I’m free to bitch about it; and you’re free to bitch about my bitching.
You must be a catholic or like pedofiles then. I have a daughter and I would kill anyone that touched her. Being a priest means nothing to me. The catholic church defending them sickens me.
I was responding to someone elses post that said “stop the catholic critizing”, and I said why they should be critizied.
The only thing I can think of, as to why you got so upset, is because…
one… you cannot read,
two… you did not read,
three… you misread.
which is it?
yea, what he said, without the dumbass.
State your point and no “shut the hell up”
